Resolved Question

We know each other and cohabitate just fine- 6 yrs now, but I feel like that's all there is. We rarely have sex, he's not interested in my life (doesn't ask, isn't interested when I talk about work, kids, my hobbies, etc) I feel like I just take care of him like another kid. We exist in the same house but barely talk, we'll go out to dinner and sit quietly and eat, because there is honestly nothing to talk about (he gets annoyed when I ask him about his work, sometimes he'll talk about his hobbies if I ask lots of questions) Even if it's a Saturday night and I tell him I'd like to curl up and watch a movie together or something on TV that we're BOTH interested in, he ignores my request and will intentionally watch something he knows I have no interest in seeing (thus no snuggly TV time because I can't still still for 2 hours being ignored without even something interesting to watch) I'm often lonely and miss having a partner and friend to share my life with.

Should I give up?

Im a guy. You need to find out what is his Love Language which is, when does he feel loved. Its obvious to me that you feel loved when you have that physical contact and listened to. Whereas he might feel loved when you talk about his hobbies or he is made to feel sexy etc.

DONT GIVE UP! I suggest that you communicate with him and tell him how you feel when he does certain things and ask him what makes him feel loved.

I have done it in a past relationship and it worked well. Ask him to write down 20 things that he does that makes you feel unloved and get him to do the same. Then sit together and discuss how you can both work on those areas so you both feel loved and worked together.

If you feel unloved and he wont make an effort to sit and watch a movie with you, it tell me he is nt happy or feel loved as well.
